I will also make a note of the archmage fix in the bugs thread soon. And for the record I highly approve of you making only fixes not mods with these releases. I'm still gonna mod mine to use Dragonslayer, though. :D I feel it's not too strong (highly conditional as a random buff) but still useful.

PS - more work for you Bhruic but if you colorized what code changed it would be extra awesome

In addon_arena.lua:

Code:

Attack.atom_spawn(act, tend, "magic_diversion", Attack.angleto(act))

That's the line where it's displaying the animation for the diversion skill. You'll need to experiment with the available animations to see which one you want to replace it with.

Hmm, I'm not sure if the code tag supports colours, but I guess I can try it and see.

edit: If I'd looked at your first post, I'd have realized that it does. ;)

That looks great, thanks for using those colors.

Okay so I hunted for the confused effect but then i realized since it only applies on the world map it might bug out if I used it in combat. So instead I found Stun, that would at least indicate "this unit isn't going to do anything this turn."

Here it is:

Code:

-- ***********************************************

-- * Stun

-- ***********************************************

function effect_stun_attack(target, pause, duration, log_message)

  --local target = Attack.get_target()

  if pause == nil then

    pause = 1

  end

  if target == nil then

    target = Attack.get_target()

  end

  if duration == nil then

    duration = tonumber(Logic.obj_par("effect_stun", "duration"))

  end

  if (Attack.act_ally(target) or Attack.act_enemy(target)) and not Attack.act_feature(target, "boss,pawn") then

    --local duration = tonumber(Attack.get_custom_param("duration"))

    duration = correct_spell_duration (duration, target, true)

    local inbonus = tonumber(Logic.obj_par("effect_stun", "inbonus"))

    local speedbonus = tonumber(Logic.obj_par("effect_stun", "speedbonus"))

--    local speed = Attack.act_get_par(target, "speed")



--    local change_speed = speed - speedbonus



    Attack.act_del_spell(target,"effect_stun")

    Attack.act_apply_spell_begin( target, "effect_stun", duration, false )

      Attack.act_apply_par_spell( "disreload", 10, 0, 0, duration, false)

      Attack.act_apply_par_spell( "disspec", 10, 0, 0, duration, false)

      Attack.act_apply_par_spell( "initiative", -inbonus, 0, 0, duration, false)

      Attack.act_apply_par_spell( "speed", -speedbonus , 0, 0, duration, false)

    Attack.act_apply_spell_end()

    Attack.atom_spawn(target, pause, "effect_stun", 0, true)



    -- log_message = -1 - íåò ëîãà, 0 - ïðèïèñûâàåì ê äàìàãó, 1 - âûâîäèì îòäåëüíîé ñòðîêîé

    if log_message == nil then

      log_message = 0

    end

    if log_message == 0 then

      Attack.act_damage_addlog(target, "add_blog_stun_")

    elseif log_message == 1 then

      if Attack.act_size(target) > 1 then

        Attack.log(pause, "add_blog_stun_2", "targets", blog_side_unit(target, 1))

      else

        Attack.log(pause, "add_blog_stun_1", "target",  blog_side_unit(target, 1))

      end

    end

  end



  return true

end

Any idea where the visual effect is in all that? I don't want the unit to actually be stunned, just look like while they are distracted.

Code:

    Attack.act_del_spell(target,"effect_stun")

    Attack.act_apply_spell_begin( target, "effect_stun", duration, false )

      Attack.act_apply_par_spell( "disreload", 10, 0, 0, duration, false)

      Attack.act_apply_par_spell( "disspec", 10, 0, 0, duration, false)

      Attack.act_apply_par_spell( "initiative", -inbonus, 0, 0, duration, false)

      Attack.act_apply_par_spell( "speed", -speedbonus , 0, 0, duration, false)

    Attack.act_apply_spell_end()

    Attack.atom_spawn(target, pause, "effect_stun", 0, true)

Not 100% sure without poking it, but the 'atom_spawn' could be an animation effect, though I'm not sure about the arguments. I'd be fairly certain though that the 'pause' variable is telling it to not let you continue to make orders while it's in effect. It just occurred to me that applying that argument to more effects would speed up combat a lot. Like, how Celestial guards (the things royal griffens spawn) remove debuffs on them without halting you from making actions.

I wouldn't mind a few longer than normal spell effects if they'd just queue up as I played. Hmm.

As Zechnophobe says, that's the line. I'm not sure if you can just copy and replace it with the other line, or if you'll need to modify it at all, but you can experiment and find out.

Omg you guys, it worked! I feel like a super modder now... :cool:

All I had to do was replace "magic_diversion" with "effect_stun." Worked great. No pause or anything, it just made the noise, showed the stun effect and the Skeleton lost his action points. Try it out if you want.

Manual Method

In addon_arena.lua, line 1010. Replace:

Code:

Attack.atom_spawn(act, tend, "magic_diversion", Attack.angleto(act))

with

Code:

Attack.atom_spawn(act, tend, "effect_stun", Attack.angleto(act))

Update: The attachment which replaces the "Fit of Energy/Rally" graphic with the "Stun" swirling stars effect has been consolidated into my other mods here.

High five team! (not like I did anything)

This is, by the way, why being a software developer can sometimes make you feel like a freaking wizard. You mere mortals and your inability to change graphical effects? Hah! You disgust me.

Great Job - Don't Forget the LUA Library

Hey, great job guys!

As a modder, it is neat to see people changing the game for the better.

Don't forget, though, about the LUA library mentioned here:

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...97&postcount=4

You'll need to use a translater to convert the text to English unless you understand Russion (Google seems to work okay), but you should be able to discern the input arguments from there.

Also feel free to ask me if the LUA library doesn't answer your questions since I've dabbled (and am dabbling) in the LUA library quite a bit...

/C\/C\

Warrior Maidens have two broken abilities.

Call of Valhalla seems to not work at all or only work 1 round in the past, and with multiple stacks of maidens it almost never works past the first time.

Gift of Odin seems to not work at all.

@Loopy, both of those are documented in the bug thread along with explanations. Check it out.

Up next - 1. Does anyone have ideas of where to even begin to fix the Crystal Collector bug? That one is really cramping my style. Yeah, I know I'm only missing out on a few points of intellect, but I know if I start spending my crystals it will be ages before I catch up.

2. I've never seen my alchemist or my engineer mix more than one bottle when using their remix ability. Here's what the code says (line 3026, unit_special_attacks.lua):

Code:

-- ***********************************************

-- Ñîçäàíèå Çåëèé/Ãðàíàò (Àëõèìèê, Èíæåíåð)

-- ***********************************************

function special_craft_attack()

  local charge = 1

  if Attack.act_human(0) then

    if Attack.act_name(0) == "alchemist" then

      if Logic.hero_lu_item_on_body("alchemist_toolkit") then

        if 10 >= Game.CurLocRand(1, 100) then

          charge = charge + 1

        end

      end

    end

  end



  local animation = Attack.get_custom_param("animation")

  Attack.act_aseq(0, animation)

  local dmgts = Attack.aseq_time(0, "x")

  local name = Attack.get_custom_param("craft")

  local craft_name = "craft_"..name

  Attack.act_enable_attack(0, craft_name, false)

  Attack.act_enable_attack(0, name, true)

  Attack.act_charge(0, charge, name)



  local size = Attack.act_size(0)

  if Attack.act_size(0)> 2 then

    size = 2

  end

  Attack.log(0.5 + dmgts, "add_blog_chemistry_crafting_success_"..tostring(charge)..tostring(size), "name", blog_side_unit(0, 0), "special", charge)



  return true

end

I can see it looks like there is a 10% chance to do better than 1 bottle. Have I just been unlucky 20+ times or might there be something wrong here?
